Application for Prospectuses and Agencies to be made to the Secretary. This Company is formed for t',e purpose of constructing a Railway from Ch.asso to Biasca in the Canton of Tessin, Switzerland, with the design of extending the line to Lucerne, by the Alpine Pass of the St. Gothard, or to Coire by the Pass of the i.uckmanier. The line now to be made from Chias o to Biasca is indis pensable to either of these routes, it beinz the only line al lowed by the Swiss Government to connect the rai ways of North Italy, the line being comparatively easy of construe tine, free from costly works, and promising a large traffic. The Company has, however, secured from the Canton Tessin, bes des the concession of the line from Chiasso to Masco, the preferential right to construct the extension of their line to any junction with the system of railways of Central Europe, whether at Lucerne or at coire i and this peculiarly advantageous condition forms a very important feature of the present enterprise. A reference to the accompanying Map will show the great importance and value of th s undertaking. The whole North and Centre of Europe are intersected by rai.ways, uniting France, Belgium, Holland, Prussia, Russia, North and .south Germ any, & ; and this vast sys rem terminates sou:hwards t two points in Switzerland—at Lucerne and at Coire. In Southern Europe another vast net-work of railways spreads throughout Ita y, but ceases northwards at Como, near Chiasso, and at the Lake Slaggiore. The line proposed by this Company will, with the contem plated extension, effect a junction between the two systems 'ring required by the commerce of Europe, and supply an un broken chain of railway transit, connecting the whole Euro pean Contin nt, North. South, East, and West. The country has been surveyed by experienced eneineers, aivi the passes referred to have been found prat ic ,ble for a ra lway. State subventions to a very considerable amount have been voted in aid of t e proposed Alpine Railway, which is ac know ed.:ed to be of the hie hest national importance to both - wit zerls-d and Italy. Negotiations are now pend ng for the settlement of the subventien • and contribut ons to be se cured to this Companmsby the Government of the Swiss Can tons, the Swiss Fed ral, and the I alien Governments, and sever , ' adjoin n,g railway companies, for the extension of the line. The result of these negotiations wil determine which of the two Alpi e passes will be adopted. A i ailway across the Central Swiss Alps is an object of great i.nd special importance to the commerce and prosperity of Switzerland, as well as of Italy and South Germany, which latter countries will be thereby brought into proximity and direct intercommunication. The torts of Genoa, Leghorn, and Ancona will be able to interchange supp'les with South Germany with gr at mutual advantage—a trade from which they are now excluded. The lines proposed in connection with this Company, when comp eted, will carry to it a traffic which, for m .finitude and importance, will surpass that of many of the best continental railways. Estimates of traffic ham been prepared from reliable sources, and their results are of a highly encoura ing character. By the completion of these lines, another desideratum, directly affecting postal communications and British com merce, will be attained. The Over and Route to India and China has become a subj 'et of great and increasing, interest to England, and the means of rendering the journey more easy and rapid is cf incalculable value. The lines proposed by this t ompany (including the extension', will fill up the break existing between in the tsouth ot Italy and the English Channel, and form ßrindisi an uninterruptedline of rail way between the Mediterranean and England, across the Centre of Europe, so soon as the short line of about four miles b e t w een Camt-rlata end Chlasso is completed. The distance between the South Coast of Italy and A'ex andria is about 800 English miles shorter than that between Marseilles and Alexandria, and the consequent say ng of three days of sea navigation in the route to India and China must make Brindisi the future landing stage for the India mails and passengers, A vote of 6.000,0(0 francs was pas ed on the 21d of July last by the Italian Chamber of Deputies, and has been since confirmed by the Senate, for the adaptation of the port of Brindisi to the requirements of the India and China t rade. The advantages of this new route are so evident, that this Comnany will undoubtedly secure their share of whatever benefit the carriage of 'he Over and India traffic may offer. As the line horn Chias o to Biasca, which is intended to join the Lombardo-Venetian lines, will open a direct com munication b - tween the most important towns of the Canton Tessin and the railway network of Italy, connecting also the three Lakes of Como, Lugano, and Maggiore. and as it forms the key of the whole po•ition. the Directors have reso ved to commence this line forthwith, pending the surveys and ne gotiations for determining the precise Alph.e Pass to be finally adopted for the extension. Responsible contrac ors have undertaken to construct and complete the line for a sum within the amount of capital ; and the works were commenced on the 18th of January, inthe presence of Government officials. Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum will be paid to Shareholders during construction , upo n the amounts from time to time paid in respect of the r shares.

L.p#Sii ~,,, 4. , . ~i , Sir STAFFORD NORTECOTE, Bart., M.P., who was greeted with the most enthusiastic cheers, again and again renewed, said,—Mr. President, Vice President, and Gentlemen,—lt is no light burden, I can assure you that any one takes upon himself, when he undertakes the task of responding to "The House of Commons;" and, let me add, that you will not make the task the easier, and my friend Mr. Barnes has not made my task the easier, by the warmth of the reception which you have so kindly given to me, and by the contrast which you make me so painfully feel between my own merits and those which your own kindness has been so good as to attribute to me. I can assure you that, warm us my affections are for the county of Devon and the city of Exeter, and rejoicing as I do now to stand before so large an assemblage of my Con servative fellow-citizens, 1 shall not be wanting in the best endeavour I can make to express my grati tude for the distinguished honour you have done me in associating my name with the toast just pro posed—(hear)—and, gentlemen, if I have no other excuse for intruding myself upon you, I have at least this, that 1 was charged (as Mr. Barnes told you) with the commission to invite my friend and our leader in the House of Commons, Mr. Disraeli, it by possibility he could spare the time for a visit to Devonshire in the Easter holidays to be present this day. I executed that commission, and I have now a note from Mr. Disraeli, a few words from which I shall, perhaps, be allowed to read. (Ap plause.) It is a private note, but there is a passage which, referring to this invitation, says, "It had been my intention of responding more fully and formally, but let me say, I am very sensible of the honour they have done me. I must return to Hughendon, which under any circumstances will render my acceptance of the invitation impossible. I have beard before of their great efforts and equal hopes, the first cannot be too much praised, and the latter I feel will be triumphant." (Loud applause.) Mr. Disraeli is what his enemies call a sanguine man—(laughter)—and what his friends call a mau of great courage, and there is no man who is better justified than he is in anticipating the triumph of the cause with which he is connected, for there is no man who has done so much, who has fought so gal lantly, and under such difficult circumstances. to bring that cause into that proud position in which it at present stands. (Cheers.) I cannot forget that five years ago, or a little less, when this Par liament had just been called together—a Parliament called together under the auspices of the Conserva tive Government which he represented in the House of Commons—its first act was to pass a vote of cen sure upon the Government, and to expel it from office. (Hear, hear.) I remember well how gloomy the prospects of the party then appeared, because at that moment we were a beaten party, and saw gathering against us all the strength, all the expe rience, all the weight of the House of Commons ex cept that which was to be found in our own imme diate ranks. We saw men of different shades o' politics all banding together against us, and the most formidable array of talent concentrated upon the seats of the Treasury Bench that had ever sat there since the earliest days, I sup pose, of the House of Commons, and it was at that time the feeling of no inconsiderable number of the members of the House of Commons that the day of the Conservative party had gone by, and that the section of it, at all events, which was represented by Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli might bid a long farewell to the position which they had hoped to hold; bat, gentlemen, Mr. Disraeli is one of those men who are so English that they know not what it is to be beaten. (Hear, and applause.) He took courage and rallied his forces—(hear, hear) —and I think we may now turn back, and, looking over the events of bygone years, say that he has met his reward. (Loud cheers.) The difference between the position which the Conservative party holds in the House of Commons now from that which it held five years ago is not to be measured merely by the difference in its numbers. We have, it is true, gained a certain number of seats, hut that is far from representing the whole of the case. (Hear, hear.) What we have most gained is in the tent and the spirit which animate our party. (Hear, and applause.) When questions of public impor tance are raised—when such questions for instance as church rates and others are brought before the House of Commons, we were in minorities of GO, of 70, of 80, but we determined not to consider our selves beaten. (Hear, and applause.) We rallieo to fight again and again, and to fight a losing game --to run a losing race—until at last we had con verted it into a winning one. (Tremendous cheers.) In proportion as the Conservative power in the House of Commons has gained so has the Ministe rial power declined. I know nothing more remark able than the declension which has come over the Ministerial party in the House of Commons since the year 1859. (Hear, hear.) It is a subject upon which it is impossible to speak without some feel ings of pain. It is impossible not to feel that there have been losses which have been sustained, not by the Ministerial party, but through them, and in their ranks, by the whole country. (Hear.) It was impossible not to feel that men have been carried off in the prime of life to whom we all, of whatever party and whatever sentiments we were supposed to be, looked with pride and respect. (Hear, hear.) And it is impos sible not to feel, when we look at the manner in which those places have been filled up, and when we see that the seats on the Treasury bench for merly occupied by Mr. Sidney Herbert and Sii George Cornewall Lewis are now occupied by men of far inferior position and in whom we can repose far less c onfidenc impossible, I say, but to feel that in proportion as the Conservatives have gained powe r so the Ministerial party have lost it. (Hear.) They have lost, not only in the number of their supporters, not only in the importance of those who conduct their party and who manage their debates for them, but they have lost also in some thing which is still more important—they have lost in character. (Renewed cheers.) I feel, with Mr. Barnes, that it is not for us to speak of the members of the Government in their individual character. Even with regard to the public characters of many of them I would speak with the highest respect. But when we look at the Government who now occupies the Treasury bench in its corporate cha racter—when we consider how it is made up of men who differ from each other on principles, on funda mental principles, and therefore neutralise each other, and render it impossible for the Government to act with firmness or decision, we see at once why it is that the Government has lost character, and why it has lost the confidence of the country as it has done. (Cheers.) For what great subject is there upon which we can venture to speak of the policy of the Palmerstonian Government ? Is it reform ? (Loud laughter.) We are all here amongst friends, because otherwise reform is a - word which I understand it is not polite to mention in their presence. (Renewed laughter.) But reform was the great card of the liberal party—(hear , hear) —reform was the great battle-horse upon which k 4 k \'J'`.\\,Mw ~ PRICE ...... ...4d. STAMPED:....Sd. they mounted to run their tilt against Lord Derby's Government. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) W hat has become of the great battle-horse now ? Why it has been turned out to grass. (Roars of laughter.) If its services should be Again found useful it may, perhaps, be taken up again. But at present all he hils to do is to " rest and b 3 th ankfdl." (Cmatinw3 laughter.) There is their Church policy. (Hear.) Will any one tell us what the Church policy of the present adminis tration is ? It seems to be summed up in this—that they think something ought to be done, but what it is they do not know. (Loud cheers and laughter.) They have nothing themselves to propose, and when questions of difficulty are proposed by others we find one minister voting and speaking one way, another minister voting and speaking another way, a third conveniently absent, and . a fourth pairing with somebody who is ill at Florence—(applause and great laughter) ; and yet never was there a time in which Church policy and the questions—the great luestions—in reference to the connection of the Church and the State deserved more anxious con sideration than now—(hear, hear) ; and never, I will venture to say, was there a time at which a ministry possessed the advantages which the pre sent ministry possessed. Never has a ministry had a fairer or better opportunity of coming forward and proposing a satisfactory settlement of questions which it is dangerous to leave unsolved. (Hear, and applause.) When we, by the energy of our party and at the beck of our leader, had succeeded in con verting a majority of 70 to a majority in our favour, by the casting vote of the Speaker, then was the time when the Government, if it was really inte rested—and it ought to have been--in settling the great question of church rates, which so vitally effects the connection between Church and State ; then was the time when the Government might have come forward with some well-considered, well planned, and moderate measare for the settlement of the difficulty—(hear, hear) ; the best of their own supporters were anxious it should be done—(hear); the beet of their ow❑ supporers were urging a set tlement of some kind, and such an opportunity pro bably as no Government had ever had before was offered to them, but it was thrown aside because they knew not how to avail themselves of it. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Well, gentlemen, such is the position in which they stand with regard to domestic matters ; but perhaps it may be said we did not think very much of their domestic policy. (Liughter.) We did not think much of their sin cerity about reform, and we never had a great opinion of them as Churchmen—(loud laughter)— but there was one subject upon which they were truly great—(ironical cheers)—there was one point on which they were always able to take the advann tage of us, and that was their foreign policy. (Laughter and ironical cheers.) It was their foreign policy which was flaunted in our faces at every turn. When we ventured to criticise their policy in domestic affairs we were told that they were, of all men, the only men who could at once maintain the honour of this country and settle the affairs of the world. (Laughter.) They were possessed, if you wou d believe them and their organs, of a marvellous secret, of a patent invention, by which they were to settle the affairs of Europe without any expenditure of blood or of treasure on the part of England. (Hear, hear, and renewed cheers.) They were in the happy position of possessing what we may con sider the universal medicine of England's more influence—(laughter)—and never was there a paten medicine of Mr. Holloway's that was more puffed or more vaunted than this moral influence of which hey were so proud. (Continued laughter.) Testi monials came from every part of the world as to its uti,ity. (Renewed laughter.) The great cause was Italy. We know what they did for Italy—(hear, near)—we know it was they who gave to Victor Emmanuel Lombardy and the Dcchies—(continued cheers)—we know it was they who gave to him N-Aples and Sicily—(oh, oh)—and if he had not yet got Rome and Venice, all that was neces sary to ensure his gaining those desirable po3- sessicns was that the people of England should stand firm by the present Government, and keep Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell in office till he got them. (Roars of laughter.) The moral influence of England at first went up into the air like a bubble, and in the sunshine it re flected all the colours of the rainbow, but, un fortunately of late the bubble has bunt, and we find ourselves in rather an unpleasant position with re gard to continental affairs. (Hear, hear.) Tne moral influence of Englani was tried in the settlement of the affairs of Poland and Denmark, and the result is that the name of England is at this moment a bye-word and a reproach among foreign nations. (Hear, and cheers.) That is what we have gained by the use of the moral influence of England— (applause)—and that is the point upon which the Government will have to answer to the country. (Hear, and cheers.) Now, observe the way in which They disguise the question that is raised and the false issue upon which their organs put the ques• tion. (Hear, hear.) They say that those who object to the manner in which they have introduced the name of England into these contests that have been going on, that those who find fault with them for the disgrace which we say they have brought upon that name, are the advocates of war, and that r hey are the opponents of the peaceful policy of the Government. Never was an issue joined so falsely, never was there a case in which there was a more dishonest attempt to evade the real question at issue. (Hear, and applause.) What we blamed them for was not for having kept the peace, not for having endeavoured to bring these matters to a pacific settlement—(hear)—but we blamed them for two things. We blamed them because they so mis managed their diplomatic relations with the coun tries of Europe, and allowed a question which ought to have been, and which might have been settled by peaceful and diplomatic means, to come to an open rupture which' they ought to have prevented— (app'ause)—and we blamed them for having made use of bold language, and loud language, and threatening language, without any occasion to do so, or without any intention of following it up. (Cheers.) It is that discrepancy, the employment of threatening language, which they knew they were not prepared to follow up, which has brought us into the position in which we not stand. (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) You know it is impossible that these matters can at pre sent be discussed in Parliament as the country might have wished they should be, because we are all anxious that these foreign affairs should be brought to the best and most peaceful settlement of which they could admit. (Hear, hear.) But so long as there is hope, the slightest hope, even at this the eleventh hour, of a peaceful settlement being in any way brought about, we are unwilling on our part to disturb it by provoking a debate or intro ducing any new complications. (Hear, hear.) But the time will come, whether in the form of a debate in the House of Commons or not I do not know, but it will certainly come, when upon the hustings of England, and before the electoral tribunals of Eng. land, the Government will have to render an ac count of the way in which they have thrown away the influence of England, and for having brought her name into disrepute amongst the nations of the world—(loud cheers) —and, gentlemen,speak ing for the Conservative party, I will venture to say that we care not how soon the tinge may come. (Hear, hear, and enthusiastic applause.) We know that it cannot be longer off than next year ; it is probable it may be even thi s year— ( hear)— b ut whenever it does come I feel sure the Conservative people of this country will rally round their stan dard—that there will be no flinching, no disunion, no personal jealousies that will be allowed to stand to the way—(cheers) —and if the results of the general election should be such as the results of the recent elections have latterly given us some reason to hope, you will then see that the Conservative party in this country will be placed in a position A.D. 1720.

It is impossible that tho Government of this country can be properly carried on by a government in a minority ; but no true friend of the Conservative cause can wish that any precipitate measure should be taken to force on a contest for which they are every day becoming better and better prepared, %rid in which the object is not so much to win quickly as to win surely and safely.

The first serious accident which has befallen the American steamers running to and from this port occurred this morn ing. The City of New York, after a splendid passage from New York, struck upon Daunt's Rock as she was entering the harbour, and great fears are entertained that she will be come a total wreck. Fortunately, the accident has not been attended by loss of life. The ship ran right on the centre of the ridge of rocks and remained firmly seated on it, so that no immediate danger to the passengers rose. The weather was exceedingly favourable. Had the ship struck on one of the ledges of the rock, there is every reason to believe that the mishap would have been fraught with the most lament.. able consequences. The particulars of the unfortunate oc currence are these :—The ship had an extraordinary fine passage across. Her average rate of speed was up to 300 miles a day; before 2 o'clock this morning she sighted the harbour, and, as the weather was exceedingly clear, she was kept going at the rate of 14 miles an hour as she ap proached it. The moon was shining brightly at the time, the wind was north-west—that is, blowing off the land, and it is stated that Captain Kennedy, in order to keep the wind ward of the rock, in coming in, took the inner passage, the breadth of which is about three-quarters of a mile. All was going on fairly when at 2 40 or so the ship run with a loud crash right upon the centre of Daunt's Roek. The concus sion shook all the passengers who had retired to sleep. It is described as resembling a series of shocks, and the ship seemed literally to drive over ledge after ledge as impelled at almost full speed she dashed upon the rock. The water rushed into be,r compartments in immense volumes, and in a very short time it had risen to the level of the sea. A scene of the greatest confusion ensued; the passengers, some halt dressed, others as they had risen from sleep, rushed about not knowing the extent of their danger, but thinking from the terrible shock that the ship received that she would go down on the instant. All attempts to move her in any way were out of the question, for in a few minutes after she struck the water had put out the engine fires, and was still rising. The only thing that could be done was to put out the boats and obtain assistance from shore. A num ber of blue lights were thrown up, and signal guns were fired incessantly. Aid from shore did not, however, reach the vessel until about half-past 4 o'clock. About 20 minutes to 3 o'clock the tug boat, which meets the steamer to receive the mails and passengers, left Queenstown, the City of New York having been at that time signalled, and proceeded out as far as Roche's Point. It waited there for some time, until some of the ship's signal guns were heard, and then, surmising that an accident must have occurred, the tug boat proceeded. On getting a little further out, the City of New York was found fairly placed upon the rock, with ber head turned towards Queenstown, within about ten feet of the Daunt's Rock Buoy. The tug boat was immediately got alongside, and, under the direction of Captain Kennedy, the mails and as many of the passengers as possible were put on board. 'There were 78 cabin and 75 steerage passengers on board the ship, besides the crew, which numbers about 120 men. Intelligence of the accident was immediately despatched to Queenstown, and steps were promptly taken to render all the aid which could be given. The Admiral of the port was com municated with, and he at once sent out her Majesty's ships Advice and Magpie. The Jackall, the Cunard Com pany's tender the Arran Castle, the Brunel, and the Robert Bruce, tug boats, also proceeded out. The passengers' lug gage was got out as soon as possible, and put on board the tugs, and steps were taken to lighten the ship by removing as much of the cargo as could be come at. These operations are being continued up to the present. It was dead ebb ' when the ship struck. The tide now passing, and it is not known what the effect of this will be on the ship. It is feared that she may lurch over into the deep water at the other side, in that case, being iron built, she would be com pletely lost. The steamers named above are still by her. DiCCNT'S ROCK, Noon. The City of New York is in the same position. The Ad miralty and Cunard Company's are operating with other tugs in lightening her. The foremast is uninjured, and rests upon a part of the rock. The injury is reported to be amid ships, where the rock has penetrated through her starboard bunkers. She fills with the flood tide to her main deck. Wind now blowing fresh. ROCIIT:S POINT, 1 35 p.m. The City of Now York is now stripped of her top gallantmasts and yards, wizen topsailyard, with fore topsail. Two of her Majesty's gunboats, in addition to those already in attendance, have arrived at the scene of the disaster. 8 30 p.m. The City of New York will doubtless become a total wreck. Much of her cargo will be saved if the weather con tinues fine, but in a damaged state. Her cargo is chiefly cotton. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4231 per ;nark and the short exchange on London is 13.5 per £1 stifling. ,tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, rather more than 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Ham burg. file course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1761 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 2i per cent. At these rates there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. LAND SLIPS.—It rained for twenty-four hours heavily, on Sunday, the twelfth of July, and there were several landslips about the Shotover and Arrow River. At a place called Butcher's Point, on the Shot • over, a party of seven were living together in a hut, on the mountain side, a little above the river. Si x were sleeping, and one was outside , looking out for the boulders that every now and then came thundering down from above. Then, all on a sudden, at about three o'clock in the morning, away went the whole hill-side, carrying with it the hut and the doomed six into the river. Nothing has been seen of them since ; the man on watch was left stand ing unhurt. A man living on the Arrow River came out side his tent about the middle of the same night, when a landslip took his tent to where he will never see it again, but it did not touch him. An enormous amount of damage has been done on both rivers ; several poor fellows who lost all else in the flood, had to run for their lives.—Dickens's All the Fear Round." FEROCITY OF THE SWAN.—Yesterday the pro prietors of Wombweli's menagerie, at present ex hibiting in th e groun d s o f t h e C rysta l P a l ace, released two fine pelicans with the humane intention of allowing them a swim on the lake as a refresher before the arrival of the visitors. Two of the company's swans, however, whose rights had been thus unceremoniously invaded, made a desperate attack upon therm, the encounter commencing with a collision between the "feather-clads," with all sails set, the force of which fairly made each rebound. Singling out the smaller pelican, the two swans belaboured him with their wings and bills with a ferocity and formidableness that was truly surprising. The contest lasted upwards of 20 minutes, and would, doubtless, have ended fatally to the pelican but for the timely arrival of a keeper, who s ucceeded, by means of a canoe, in rescuing him with a b roken wing and well nigh exhausted, having been held under water, by the joint efforts of the swans, for about 10 minutes. Exas• perated at losing their victim, the swans then directed their attack on the keeper, and capsized his canoe. GREAT GUNS FOR CRONSTADT.—Eig hty immense guns are about to be manufactured al, M. lirupp's celebrated foundry in Prussia. These gulls are for the Russian Government, and will be mounted at Cronstadt. They will carry a ball of 2001 b. weight, whielh will perforate a tour-inch plate at the distance of three miles. E'itraor dinary preparations are being made at an im mense which contains fifty steam engines. The hamr ae r to be used weighs 300,0001 b., and the anvil will bt 1 of c orresperid hag weight. 1
